'Those kids have every right to protest' says WWII vet who took a knee

A 97-year-old World War II veteran insisted that "those kids have every right to protest" as he joined the "take a knee" protest over the weekend, and now the photo posted by his grandson is going viral.

Washington (CNN) When first lady Melania Trump sent packages of Dr. Seuss children's books to one deserving school in each state across the country to celebrate National Read-a-Book Day earlier this month, she likely didn't expect any of them to be rejected.

NBC News and other media outlets have continued to try to hold the Trump administration accountable for months despite a barrage of criticism from the president himself, but Wednesday President Donald Trump called into question the government’s very power to regulate NBC and other television networks — or as he put it in a tweet about “NBC and the Networks” — “challenge their license.”

A Maryland man arrested this week after authorities said they found child pornography on his cellphone worked for President Trump’s voter fraud commission, according to a senior administration official.

here, once they entered college they were marketing tools so then they had some "value added tax"....one VAT is his first wife who is hawking her book by giving out a few sociopathic hints about groper.

Trump’s first wife Ivana claims he wasn’t able to speak to his children properly until they were adults.

In a radio interview with AM970’s The Answer released on Sunday, in which she was promoting her new book Raising Trump, the former model and businesswoman said the president had found it difficult to interact with the kids.“He did not know how to speak the children's language,” Ivana told host John Catsimatidis.

Forest Service fire experts blocked from attending major fire conference

Several of Missoula’s top federal fire scientists have been denied permission to attend the International Fire Congress later this month, leading conference organizers to suspect censorship of climate-related research.

The fire lab in Missoula is a interesting place. It's a wind tunnel disguised as a very large two story office building. They spend days setting up models of forests in that mammoth wind tunnel, then turn on the amount of wind they desire, adjust the temperature and humidly to what they desire, and burn it.

I did a job there once. I installed new air temperature and humidity coils in the wind tunnel, and the controls to make them work. I'm not sure but the name Matt Jolly seems familiar, he might have been there then. That was at least 20 years ago.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Monday said he will nominate former pharmaceutical executive Alex Azar to serve as U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, saying Azar would push to lower the price of medicines.

The driver of a truck with an anti-Trump sticker was arrested Thursday, a few hours after she gained social media attention from a local sheriff's Facebook post that threatened to charge the driver on disorderly conduct.

This should be a real poster and put on every street pole in the country:

Tentative meme: "I don't often dream about nuclear holocaust, but when I do it's epic."

Seriously, I don't often dream about such things, and it did recently become a part of my dream world.

Along with all the other horrors I was witness to in that dream, there were also hot blasts of radiation that penetrate everything, even the well fortified bunker I was hiding behind, followed by an immediate sensation of knowing that I had just received a lethal dose of high-energy radiation, meaning that pretty much everything in my body was going to slowly turn to jelly, in a matter of hours and days.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a move certain to please conservatives, President Donald Trump on Friday added five names to his list of candidates for a prospective U.S. Supreme Court vacancy as he presses ahead with a campaign to move the federal judiciary to the right.

Of course, these things do not last forever. So the question is how to bring about an end to this insanity, and instead move in a direction that is at least more appealing than where we are headed at present.

Voting is a good first step.

But that's not nearly enough. Have to get involved at the local level (and beyond), make your voice heard, else gonna continue being run over roughshod by the opposition.

More than that, time to get fucking creative about how to better organize and project messages that resonate with the voters.

Who are the voters? And perhaps more importantly, why are there still (in this day-and-age of instantaneous global communication) so many obstacles to people being able to cast their votes? Seriously, gonna make me stand in line all day to vote for the lesser of two evils, with no monetary compensation, and possibly actual loss of money for that work day, due to time missed from work? Fuck you and whatever horse you rode in on.

Change this shit or be ready for a more vengeful civil war.

My hunch is that the rich are getting ready for that civil war. Hence, the ability to purchase a small-scale nuclear-powered generator sufficient to provide power to folks in a typical gated community in America.

The rich don't give a shit, because they are not only afraid of us, but also of each other. And by default of their position in our social constructs of hierarchy, they believe that they are entitled to be where they are, no matter how miserable life is for the rest of us, or the circumstances that created such misery.

Jill Harth was getting a tour of Trump’s home in 1993 when, she tells us, he sexually assaulted her in his daughter Ivanka’s bedroom, “pushed me up against the wall, and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress again, and I had to physically say: ‘What are you doing? Stop it.’”

Jessica Leeds sat next to Trump on an airplane in the late 1970s, when she tells us he grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt. “He was like an octopus.” “His hands were everywhere.” “It was an assault.”

Kristin Anderson was at a Manhattan nightclub in the early 1990s when she tells us a man suddenly put his hand up her skirt, touching her genitals. She recognized Trump—someone she had never met. “He just stuck his hand up my skirt.”

Karena Virginia encountered Trump at the US Open in 1998 when she tells us Trump approached her at random, made sexual comments about her body, and groped her. “Then his hand touched the right side of my breast. I was in shock. I flinched. ‘Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know who I am?’—that’s what he said to me.”

Summer Zervos, a contestant on The Apprentice, met with Trump in 2007 about getting a job with the Trump Organization. She tells us he greeted her with an “open-mouthed” kiss and groped her breast. As she attempted to push him off, he “thrusted his genitals” against her.

There's 11 more. The stories range from forced kissing to - as he bragged about to Howard Stern - bursting into their dressing rooms while they were naked.

But, of course, they are all lying, despite Trump bragging on the Access Hollywood tape exactly about doing this.
